(54) | Steam ejection nozzle for beverages |
(57) The steam ejection nozzle comprises an elongated body (1) which internally defines
a chamber (2). One end (3) of the body (1) is open for coupling to a steam delivery
duct and the other end (5) has a plurality of steam discharge outlets (6). The steam
ejection nozzle furthermore comprises a lamination cone (11) which can be partially
immersed within a fluid to be emulsified. The lamination cone (11) is skimmed by the
flow of steam discharged from the outlets (6) in order to facilitate penetration of
the steam into the liquid and create a vortex which increases the inclusion of air. |
